The link and photos are appreciated, but JP looks simply awful as Jesus with his unkempt receding hairline and aged, decrepit looks (JC was 32 when crucified, JP is 42 - what a miscasting!). Worst of all is the egregious example of cultural (mis)appropriation in casting a black actor as Peter. Simply awful.
